We wanted to go on an adventure
Everyone talks about Mexico City as an amazing travel destination. I put together a trip for 18 friends for my 40th birthday to have an epic weekend with great food, fun Mexican adventures and celebrating beautiful friendships.
It was a volunteering opportunity to teach kids from the Reserve’s surrounding schools about environment and conservation, eco tourism and wildlife.
My mom and I are music lovers and wanted a little festival getaway in wine country where the sun was shining and the dance moves were abundant!
We were in need of a getaway that included fresh air, incredible views, and nature. We had heard great things about Under Canvas, Zion and the beauty of this part of Utah. This trip checked every box we needed, and more!
Wanted to take a hike so I booked the cheapest one way flight from NYC with a mountain.
I wanted a break from my studies. School had been overwhelming and I just wanted something different. A quiet space to reset the mind and soul. So I decided go on a trip, to paint and enjoy the scenery. To relax and recalibrate.
Met friends there on study abroad
I currently live 2 hours away from Edinburgh in the Northeast of Scotland, and have frequently visited Edinburgh for fun, to stay with friends, and for the famed Fringe festival each August!
A birthday gift. A weekend getaway. A first-ever trip abroad. Turns out it was all three! The otherworldly “Land of Fire and Ice” inspired my soul to pursue traveling the world. My long-awaited return to Iceland would be equally special, sharing my favorite country with the special lady who stole my heart. Geothermal hot springs, roaring waterfalls, black-sand beaches, dramatic landscapes, and adorable puffins made this short holiday one for the ages.
